Generally, cats are considered senior around 7-10 years of age, though it varies by breed. You should consider switching to a senior diet when you notice signs of aging that impact their nutritional needs, such as decreased activity, weight changes, dull coat, or early signs of health issues like kidney disease or arthritis. Senior diets are typically formulated with lower calories to prevent obesity, controlled phosphorus for kidney health, joint-supporting supplements, and highly digestible proteins. Discussing your cat's specific health profile with your veterinarian is the best approach to determine the optimal timing and type of senior diet for them. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
